Conan O’Brien jokes about Ted Sarandos, Timothée Chalamet and ‘frightening times’ in Oscars monologue

-
Host bobs and weaves through a number of third-rail topics in Academy Awards speech that’s at turns silly and sincere Oscars 2026 – follow the action live! The winners: the full list – updating live Conan O’Brien’s opening monologue at the 98th Academy Awards cheekily paid tribute to many nominated films – and then some – while acknowledging the tense US political situation and cracks at Timothée Chalamet, Amazon and US healthcare. After a snappily edited, old-school montage in which O’Brien, dressed as best supporting actress winner Amy Madigan ’s character in Weapons (“I look like Bette Davis with lupus,” he joked), stormed through each of the nominated films trailed by children à la Weapons, the second-time host bobbed and weaved through a number of pressing topics, from political divides to AI to Jeffrey Epstein. “I am Conan O’Brien, and I am honored to be the last human host of the Academy Awards,” he quipped. “Next year it’s going to be a Waymo in a tux.” Continue read...

Kangana Ranaut praises Pathaan’s box office performance, says, “Aisi filmein chalni chahiye”

-
Kangana Ranaut criticized the working style of Bollywood yesterday for its ‘obsession’ over box office figures on Twitter. The Twitterati felt this was an indirect attack on Pathaan, which was having a phenomenal opening day at the box office. However, hours later, the actress hailed the success of Pathaan and also highlighted that such films should do well at the box office. Speaking at the wrap-up party of her upcoming movie Emergency, Kangana said in a video surfaced online, “Pathaan film bhi achha kar rahi hai. Aisi filmein chalni chahiye. (Pathaan is doing well at the box office. Such films should do well). I feel the way Hindi cinema is lagging behind (in box office numbers), we should now try to come back to that level.” Kangana Ranaut - “Pathaan film bhi accha kar rahi hai, aisi filmein chalni chahiye.” pic.twitter.com/NaggjP0cXm — r ★ (@itzzRashmi) January 25, 2023 She was speaking in presence of veteran actor Anupam Kher, who plays a pivotal role in Emergency. As per a report in Indian Express, he added, “It (Pathaan) is a huge film, made on a huge budget.” Earlier in the day, Kangana posted a long tweet thread where she criticized the industry’s obsession with box office figures. She said that we never knew how classics like Pyaasa, Guide and Shri 420 did at the box office and while growing up she never came to know the numbers of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Hum Aapke Hain Koun. She also mentioned her films like Gangster, Fashion, Once Upon A Time In India and Queen in the same regard. Let’s track back when and how industry got obsessed with money. We don’t know how much money any of great classics Pyaasa/Guide/Shri 420 made. Growing up I never saw films that i liked DDLJ or HPHK had digits slapped on them after the weekend, I did Gangster i was told (cont) — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) January 25, 2023 She ended the tweet thread saying, “So this digit drama has started only a decade ago, just how no individual should flash how much money they have/they made, no tackiness when it comes to films as well please. You made money good for you, now work on your next project. Even if you didn’t continue working please.” For those not in the know, Kangana was able to return to Twitter earlier this week after being banned from the platform in May 2021 for posting allegedly derogatory tweets.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
